Professional Jewish artistswork to be displayed
Hillel Art Gallery open to public

Professional Jewish artists, all women, are currently displaying their creations at the Inaugural Exhibition of the Hillel Art Gallery, which opened last week.
The Hillel Jewish Center, located on Hoover Street across from University Village, created the art gallery in an attempt to encourage artists to explore Jewish themes, to involve the students and faculty in Jewish art and to celebrate the richness of Jewish tradition, said Rabbi Laura Geller, director of the gallery.
The first show, titled "Let Her Own Work Praise Her," will run until Jan. 24. Admission for the public is free.
Out of the 128 women across the nation who submitted slides of their work to participate in the exhibition, only 21 were selected by the gallery jury, a four-member panel comprising prominent community artists.
"There was no central theme," said Sylvia Marcus, co-coordinator of the gallery. "It was an attempt to show the creativity of Jewish women in art."
The show room, Hillel's former multipurpose quarter, was decorated with paintings, sculptures, wall-hangings, collages and various other art forms
—	a total of 26 pieces in all.
"We hope to do one or two more shows during the school year," said Maria Tatz, assistant director. "The next one will probably be a one-person show. And if we can't get one in for university students this year, then we'll do it next year."
Members of the jury are: Rabbi Steven Dworkin, Hillel Macor; Marcia Reines Josephy, member of the Jewish Arts Council; Laurie Gross, artist and member of the Jewish Federation Council; and Ruth Weisberg, artist, professor of fine arts at USC and co-collaborator in the creation of the art gallery.
Hillel's operating hours are Monday through Friday, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The building will be closed Dec. 21 to Jan. 4 for Christmas break.
Zschau wants party to level with people
‘Republican approach ’ is needed

Today's Republican Party needs to address "issues the people feel at the gut level," said Ed Zschau, former U.S. Representative and a 1986 U.S. Senate nominee, in a speech to the Trojan College Republicans Monday night.
The American people want someone "to level with them," Zschau said in Topping Student Center as he mused about politics in general and the Republican Party in particular.
Republican nominees should be honest with the people and remember one thing which Zschau said he learned when he lost to Senator Alan Cranston in the 1986 election for U.S. Senator: "Be yourself."
Candidates should lay themselves and their positions out on the line "and let the chips fall as they may," Zschau said.
Zschau plans to follow his own advice when he runs again in 1992 for one of California’s two seats in the U.S. Senate.
Many politicians justify compromising their views during political campaigns by saying they cannot serve the people unless they get elected. Zschau said he does not believe this is true.
Zschau said that one has to "make a contribution from the private sector" and added that is what he has been doing since he finished his term as U.S. Representative.
Zschau, who resides in Silicon Valley in northern California, is currently involved in a project to increase the number of students who study in scientific and technological fields. He said a lack of Americans studying in these ar-
eas poses the threat that the United States will not be able to compete in the technological world of the future.
The project utilizes the resources of the private, highly technological industries in Silicon Valley to "excite young

people" to study these subjects in the public school system.
The project represents a definite "Republican approach" to solving problems such as people asking themselves, "How can we help as a private entity” instead of depending on the government for answers, Zschau said.
For the 1988 election, the Republican Party will have to deal with issues the partv recently has shown less concern about, Zschau said.
Zschau told an anecdote about his visit to a governmental (Continued on page 13)
